n elderly man who was riding a mobility scooter has been stabbed to death in west London leaving neighbours “deeply shocked”.
Police were called at 4pm on Tuesday to Cayton Road, Greenford, to reports of a male with stab injuries.
An elderly man – believed to be in his 80s – was found. Despite the efforts of paramedics he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police are working to inform his next of kin.
There have been no arrests at this time, police said.
Parish Advani whose house is near the crime scene told the Standard he was “deeply shocked” by the incident. He said: “I’m on holiday but my sister contacted me about it. The police have been asking if anyone has CCTV and have been door to door. It’s frightening, deeply shocking to have something like this happen near your house.”
Simran Advani, 25, a senior property manager said she often saw an elderly man on his mobility scooter passing the the family home.
She said: “We always used to see him on his mobility scooter – he always used to smile, he was a nice old man.
“He often goes round the block, he always went on the road not the pavement. It was dark red.
“We saw him every couple of days.
“This is a very quiet area, you never hear any noise on this street. It’s scary for a man in his 80s to be killed here.
“Most people on this road are elderly, you never hear any noise and never see any young people.
“It was just like a normal day today. There’s a parade of shops just round the corner under the train tracks and through an alley way which he might have been heading from or to.”
Forensic teams are on the scene scouring for clues and a police cordon has been set up around the area near the junction of Cayton Road and Runnymede Gardens.
Detective Chief Inspector Jim Eastwood from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command said: “My officers are working to understand what has happened to this man, and we need the public’s assistance.
“I’m asking for anyone with dash cam or cycle helmet footage to contact us if they were using the Western Avenue A40 Eastbound in the proximity of Cayton Road and Welland Gardens between 15:15hrs and 16:15hrs.
“The elderly victim, who was riding a mobility scooter, was in the area at the time. If you saw the victim, or captured anyone acting suspiciously in the area, it is imperative that you make contact.”
Chief Superintendent Sean Wilson, lead for policing in Ealing, said: “This is an awful incident that will understandably cause considerable alarm to people locally and across London. Our thoughts are with the elderly victim.
“We are supporting our colleagues in Specialist Crime as they work to understand what has happened and identify who is responsible for this horrific crime.
“The support of the public is crucial. Police and the community must work together to identify violent offenders and remove them from our streets.”
Anyone who has information that could help police should call 101 ref CAD 4691/16 Aug.
